Shakespeare rock isnt worth the bolts unless you just gotta get an FA in the book.
Eagle rock is ok, nobody climbs it, for a reason. Its possible, theres bolts down low, like 5.10ish, and the upper portion has a 12 I believe, but the constant stream of tourists and such usually makes for lots of rocks coming down onto you. Why climb that hunk of crap when you can climb something good?

I love choss as much as the next idiot, but Shakespeare rock never took off for several reasons. If you must bolt it, go ahead, have fun. Come on into an area you don't live in and blast in a bunch of unnecessary bolts. Get your name in that book, there's still time. Go put up a crappy choss route that no one cares about but you. There's lots of FA's to be done that aren't right next to the road anyway, go look around. You guys asked, I answered. Get bent or stop asking if you don't like the answers.
Lighten up, Francis. Trade you my 'haterade' for some vagisil. Apply liberally.
Im just shooting the sh#t too, but most ST folks seem to not be any fun.
Since you dont seem to like my answers, go climb the bolts at Eagle Rock on a saturday without a helmet.

Then watch your snippy comments like haterade when someone simply answers one of your questions (ie eagle rock). Some of us might call you out on them. Dunno where you got haterness out of my mega-profound post...
The rest of you are cool.
I could give two shits if someone wants to rail bolts up shakespeare rock.
Thanks for replacing local bolts.

I could be a jerk, but,
OK.
Your comments struck me as antagonistic, but if they were truly altruistic, I'll drop it.

I know BRB well enough to know he was just kidding about bolts on
shakespeare, and he has done tons of work to maintain and fix older routes.
I should know by the amount of bolting hardware he used to purchase from me.
by the way BRB how was Ouray?? did you sharpen my cramps?? ha ha
call me for a garage session!!
take care

hey stink-
they are referred to as the washoe boulders in cmacs bouldering guide. most of us call them the gonies or goni boulders.
In case you don't have the book they are in north carson off of college parkway go left at Goni road, go to the end turn right, follow to the obvious cinder mine.
take care
dave
p.s. when those cinder solpes get a foot of snow or more, you can slide down them on your bouldering pad, assuming you have consumed enough libations, we call it "padder x". watch out though that sagebrush comes real quick!!!

Hearing my little girl yelp in pain and biting at the chain and her own paw was absolutely horrible. She bit me and my gal as we tried to get it off. I cant imaging any animal caught like that for very long.
She's doing ok now but everyone climbing thought I was beating my dog she was crying so loud............

Unfortunately it's on public land and nothing to be done. I called ndow. There are a couple
Of signs you pass stating it's public land. My girls doing ok so I'm not going to pursue it further. Yesterday may have been different. It's the first time in three years that my gfriend has ever seen me angry (this is an understatement)
Ron On a climbing note. If you are at American flats and look west onto the hillside there is a pretty big chunk of stone on it. Looks like it is on the eastern slope of "monitor" peak
Any beta?

I was a river guide in the early to mid 80's near Tahoe and used to make frequent trips to Lovers Leap, Donner Summit. I climbed with a guy named Sean Frazier or Frasier. Does that name ring a bel? He lived in Squaw.

I agree with Ron. Please no more on the traps, photos etc. Start a new thread and get LEB involved. I just wanted to bring it to local attention. Its hard enough seeing my own dog in one and Im trying to forget it. Had nightmares about it last night and dont need to see anymore photos about it. Please.
Thanks
Shawn
Ron I may check that crop out when the snow melts and report up.
